I'm putting the finishing touches on the 2013 Calendar, and I want to share the new drawings with you, one at a time.
HEY CALIFORNIA! I'm heading to L.A. at the end of the month to be in the Renegade Craft Fair. I would love to meet you there.

I Love Stationery

There is a new book out by Charlotte Rivers, and I was lucky enough to be a part of it!
Check it out here, and here.
I have just ordered my copy and will post some peeks when it arrives. Right now it ships from the UK, but hopefully soon it will be available in the US.

2012 Calendar

I have been putting a calendar out since 2009, and I really like every year more than the year before. This year is my favorite so far! It's a little bit bigger than previous years, it's printed on 100% recycled paper, and I have positioned each of the illustrations in a way that will allow you to cut them off for framing. All of these improvements are the result of you guys telling me what you would like to see. I love hearing what you think, so please feel free to send me a note or leave a comment!

I shipped out the pre-orders yesterday, and each package went out with an extra special edition print - my way of thanking you for supporting my shop and making it possible for me to put this out year after year. I love what I do, and I am so thankful to be able to keep doing it!

Some new things are on the horizon as well - my first tea towel will be available next week!

That's way too many exclamation points! Coffee!

what I'm working on...

new fish prints

New! Zigzag Fish with Salmon Fish

Gold Fish with Striped Fish

hello, handsome

well hello there. 

Slowly but surely I am getting back into work and have a few new things up my sleeve. Here is a little peek at a new set of cards that will be available very soon. 

The little fish you see is part of a new NEW project wherein I am breaking away from the botanical theme and trying some new stuff. I am pretty excited about the future of my stationary line and can't wait to get more time to work. 

I am fantasizing about a new studio space that is larger and has a small table for Ava to work at when she's older. I had a lot of encouragement throughout my life to develop as an artist, and I am so excited to find out what it is she will want for herself. If it isn't art or music or programming, we will all have something new to learn...

coming soon...

Some day in the near future, this will be available as a print and as part of a card set...Still working on colors and the rest of the series.

coming soon

calendar sale!

My 2011 Wall Calendar is now only $15.00! I had a limited run printed this year, so the remaining calendars are ready to go.

I also have a new print in the shop:

You Look Pretty print
I have been offering this as a card set, and now it is available as a beautiful archival print, suitable for framing, on my favorite heavy paper.

As this year wraps up, I am more excited than ever to see what the next year will bring. 2010 was an amazing year, and 2011 is just one big happy question mark. I can't say I have set any goals for the coming year, since all I can focus on is this new person who is about to introduce herself to us. We are less than 2 weeks away from the due date,  and as I write this this she is contorting her body, getting into position, getting ready to come out. It's all I can think about, and I have never been more willing to let go of expectations and set aside ideas of what will happen next - I just don't know, and that's fine by me.

I hope you all have a safe and happy New Year!

Art vs Craft 2010

Every year, I am in love with the promotional card and poster designs by the ever-talented duo The LIttle Friends of Printmaking. We have a few of their silkscreen posters, and I keep wanting more, but it seems a little nuts to have 10 art posters from the same artists. Maybe not. I will probably get another one this year at Art v Craft.


Speaking of Art vs Craft, I will be there again this year and I hope you will stop by and say hi. I will be the large pregnant lady with a table full of stuff, including the 2011 Wall Calendar.


Speaking of the calendar, it was featured this morning on Decor8! Holly put together a great selection this year, and I have to say, it looks like mine is the only one that has room to write events and birthdays on it. Hooray for my list-making obsession!

More to come int he next few days as I tackle wholesale orders and press checks....

2011 Calendar - Ready for Pre-Sale

HOORAY!

My 2011 Wall Calendar is off to the printer, and is now available for pre-order at my etsy shop.

I will be shipping them out as soon as I get them - likely within the first week or so of November.

I am also excited to announce (again) that for the first year ever, the wall calendar is available for wholesale orders. Please contact me if you are interested in the details.

I will also have plenty on hand at this year's Art vs Craft. I am so happy with the calendar this year!

I am also hoping (hoping) to offer a new format this year. Many of you have requested a wider format, more suitable for families and event planning. I'm getting to work on that next week and will let you know how it turns out.

2011 Calendar

Finishing the last few pages of the 2011 Calendar! 

2011 Calendar

I am working on the 2011 calendar, and am very excited to announce that it will be available for wholesale! I am setting up my forms and getting things in order, so if you know of a local shop that might be interested in carrying my calendar this year - please let me know! 

This is the first step in a my big plans for 2011. I can't wait to share what else I have lined up...

Have a great weekend, friends. The weather is supposed to be very nice, and we are looking forward to a hike through the woods and maybe some fig clafouti.

I have posted this moleskin notebook to my etsy shop! There is only one in this design, Spring Collection.

this is a test

hoping this image is of the larger size and that my coding edits worked...

* yes! Here's a secret: when you want to make a change, you will have a higher rate of success by actually TRYING some solutions than thinking about how to find solutions for six months. Yer welcome.*

you look pretty
